Lets Celebrate Māori Language Week!

From the 27th till the 2nd of August is Māori Language Week. Ever since 1975 we have dedicated a week to the Māori language. A time to celebrate te reo Māori and encourage us all to to use correctly and respect the native language of New Zealand. ‘Arohatia te Reo – cherish the language’. 

As a celebration of this week we will be doing a bonus giveaway whenever you purchase our 'Wise words of the Māori' we will give you the booklet 'Te Reo Dictionary' by Murdoch Riley.

'Wise Words of the Māori' is a beautiful book. It contains over 400 proverbs,aphorisms and other expressions. Te Reo  is a small pocket sized booklet that is a handy Māori-English/ English- Māori Dictionary.

Also check out Finnian Galbraith's school speech about the importance of correctly pronouncing Māori words.

Take care
